2017

Storm season is now upon Australia, and this was recently demonstrated in frightening fashion by the recent supercell storms that battered the east coast. Over 30,000 lightening strikes and 90 kilometre per hour winds battered homes from New South Wales to Queensland. With more storms to come and 11 cyclones predicted for storm season 2017/18, your trees may be in for a rough ride in the coming weeks and months.

When assessing your current trees or trying to decide which tree might be most suitable for your yard, safety should be one of your priorities. In 2016, due to stormy conditions, high winds brought down trees throughout Australia, damaging property and taking lives. If you live in an area that is known for the ferocity of its storms, you should consider replacing trees that may pose a risk to you and your loved ones in severe weather.
